Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
2.5星，果然是和德尔托罗制作团队有关系的电影，这怪物最后变身后总觉得有股潘神的迷宫里那个怪物的影子。可是故事太寡淡，也就是隔靴搔痒。关于“坏”父亲完全可以说的更深入，父权的彻底崩塌，以及这种“坏”的延续，在电影中还是停留在表面，不过结尾不错算是唯一的亮点。
好怕卢卡斯被感染啊，难得的恐怖片里的不让人讨厌的孩子，甚至让人喜欢让人心疼，勇敢坚强。可惜了女主的哥哥，不幸中招，看来也是个迷惘或者软弱或者堕落者了，根据背景更可能是软弱者
有点不太像以前的阿帕图，感觉这部里他对角色的态度有些过于单一嘲讽了。
整体的内核和《羊崽》差不多，讲人与自然之间的关系，过度的索取自然资源，必然遭受到自然的反噬。但整体显得头重脚轻，草草了事，有点可惜。
好久没看过这么高级的怪兽片了，氛围营造一流，才5.3分？
……前面行为逻辑没脑子，后面又突然能神勇表现？哈？？？？？？
留下印象的只有Oregon美丽的雪山和森林（PS：受够了这些怪物强的时候恨不得干翻一栋房子，弱的时候被女主一根棍子就插了个毫无还手之力的流动战力了）
浪费这个克苏鲁的设定，拍的啥啊，前面二十分钟就感觉故事走向了
无功无过吧。显然抑郁的人都来拍恐怖片里，结果片子一点都不恐怖，灰暗得无一丝波澜。
不模版化就已经超越今年99%的影视作品了。女老师风韵犹存，年轻的时候肯定是个靓妹。结尾表意女性的自立精神，又设定抱杀儿童，难道是暗指堕胎吗？反正挺奇怪的。但还是期待一首续集。
小男孩真可怜，可以拍部续集讲小男孩长大以后成为温迪哥猎人的故事
7分吧，接受了地点真实年代架空很多剧情问题就淡化了，前半部还是挺抓人的，后半部开始出现一些常见毛病：用不作死就不会死的角色发展剧情，节奏莫名加快草草收尾，留了个死里逃生的只是为了第二部。结尾制片看到陀螺的名字笑了，氛围真的是照着他的风格做的
《鹿角》在缓慢的节奏中，讲了一个中规中矩的恐怖故事，前期寂静凄冷的冷灰色调很吸引人，但后期看似很有表达欲望，实则平淡无趣的剧情并没有很好地支撑起这部的电影，有些虎头蛇尾。但凭借《鹿角》阴暗的影像表达和出色的惊悚氛围，它也不失为2021值得一看的恐怖电影。
PNW的天气，灯光，音乐，把气氛烘托得完美。剧情肯定经不起推敲，看着玩儿
氛围感很好，阴冷潮湿的美国小镇，古怪的家庭，变异的人类，慢慢烘托的节奏感，还是挺有看点的，只是结尾部分太草率了，整体的表达也是有的，还可以，可以一看。
很多事情交待得不清楚！鹿角怪物出现次数不多
一个被家暴、性侵的女老师如何拯救原生家庭糟糕的学生，还帮着学生把他那被恶魔吞噬、寄生的吸毒制毒的父亲给收拾了；全片无高潮；警察还是那么蠢战斗力为0；顺道批判了美帝的抚养制度；大失所望。
女主又负能量又圣母，小学生在家养怪物养的挺好，非得掺合一下，整死一堆人之后厉害了，把哥哥也整成怪物这回开心了，剧情空洞怪物敷衍，宣传了一年就这？
5.6怎么拍的，这居然和我想的一毛一样，氛围感不错，但还是烂俗恐怖片。
